BEVELING-HACBINE Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented may 12, 190s.

Application filed September 24, 1906. Serial No. 835,916.

,To all whom "it vmay concern- Be it known that I, EDWARD H. SLlcK, a citizen of the United States, residing at South Bend, in the county of St. Joseph and State of Indiana, have. invented certain new and useful Im rovements in Beveling Machines, of whic 1 the following is a speciiication.

This invention relates to card beveling machines.

One ob'ect is to provide a machine embodying cliaracteristlcs in its organization of -elements that simplicity, inexpensiveness,

durability and accuracy in operation will be essential features.

Another object resides in the provision of a card beveling 4machine constructed and arranged whereby the card may be rmly clamped upon a reci rocating carriage cooperating with a fixer cutting memberl W'ith the above and other objects in view, the present invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts, hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims, it being understood that changes may be made in the form, proportion, size and minor details Without departinf1r from the spirit or scope of the inventlon and` without sacrificing any of the advantagesl thereof.

In the drawingsz-Figure 1 is a side elevation of the invention. Fig. 2 is a top plan view, and Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view of the carriage, illustrating in elevation the clamping bar and the means for operating the latter.

Referring now more particularly to the accompan Aing drawings, the reference character 1 in icates a suitable table upon which is secured iXedly, in any suitable manner, an angular arm 2, whose extremity is enlarged to` form a head 3.

A segmental shaped bevel adjusting head 4 is pivoted at its minor end to the head 3 of the arm 2, by means of a suitable pivot 5, and near the major end of the segmental head 4 there is provided a curved slot 6 for Working tit upon the bolt 7. By loosening the nut 8 of the bolt 7 the beveling head 4 may be adjusted to different inclinations upon its pivot 5 and tightened against movement by operating the said nut 8. The outer edge of the ad'usting head 4 is provided with a substantia y elongated clamping lug 9 arranged preferably upon an inclination, for coperating with a comparatively short clamping lug 10 formed u on the corresponding face of the head 4. `hese clam ing members 9 and 10 are designed to hol between them,

' in an inclined plane the beveling tool element holder 11, there being an o erating screw 12 supported in the eye 13 o the head 4 and iercing the clamping lug 10 for engagement with the holder 11. By this means the holder 11 may be held rmly in position to support the beveling blade or other suitabe element 14 in proper position to bevel the cards in the manner hereinafter more fully described. As shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, one lace of the holder 11 is rovided with a longitudinal groove 15 for tie reception of the cutting element 14, and the cutting element 14 is held against longitudinal movement with respect to the holder 11 by means of a suitable clamping element 16 arranged preferably at the upper end of the holder and eveling element, as clearly shown in Fig. 1. In order that the. beveling .tool and its holder may be adjusted to dillerent inclina-r tions, it is only necessary .to move the adj usting head 4 in the manner hereinbefore described, and to etl'ect an adjustment oi" the holder and beveling element longitudinally of the clamping member t), the holder 11 is provided wlth a curved arm 17.directed toward the head 3 and provided in its extremity with a screw threaded eye for rece tion of the screw threaded bolt 18, whose ower end is adapted to rest upon the upper face of the head 4. It will thus be understood that by loosening the operating bolt 12 and turning the screw 18, the holder 11 and its tool may be adjusted accordingly.

From the foregoing it will be understood that in operation, the beveling element 14 is held ina fixed position, and, as hereinbefore stated, this element is designed to coperate with movable means carrying the card. 'Ihis movable means consists of a carriage 1) provided with depending parts 20 and 21 designed to engage the upper f aces of the tracks 22 and 23, respectively, ol the table 1. These track ways 22 and 23 are preferably greased and the first named track 22 is preferably beveled at its upper end, as indicated at 24, for engagement 1n the correspondingly formed groove 25 of the depending part 20 to prevent disengagement o the -carriage 19 with respect to the tracks.

To hold the card upon the carriage 19, there is provided a slot 26 in the carriage near the outer end thereof` for coperation with the clamping bolt 27 of the head block 28 designed to slide upon the carria e for engagement with the outer ends of t e cards (not shownfaccordin At the inner en of the carriage 19 is' provided a bar 29 Whose o posite ends may or the end lever 34.

may not be reduced, as s 'own at 30 in Fig. 3, butwhich are in any event pierced by suitable eye bolts 31'eXtending through the depending parts l20 With their eyes vtherebeneath for the rotatable reception 4of the cam shaft 32 provided near' each end with a cam 33v for engagement With the under fades of the dependingl parts 20 u on proper operation of is clamping bar 29 is normally out of Contact with the upper face of the carriage 19 and this normal spacing of the clamping bar, with respect to the carriage, is accomplished through the instru'- mentality of suitable helical or other s rings 35 encircling the corresponding eye bo ts 31 and seated 1n the recess 36 formed through the carriage and each of the depending parts 20. It will thus be understood that the head block 28 is adjusted according to the size-of the card Whose edge is to be beveled and that the clamping bar 29, through the operation vof the cam shaft 32 is broughtJ down tlghtly u on the inner edge of the card to hold it iimly against slipping movement upon the carriage. The carriage 19 is then moved across the table 1 u on the tracks 22 and 23. The inner'end of t e card, traveling in'the ath of the xed beveling tool 14, is beveled) according to the desire of theoperator. The carria e may be moved manually or otherwise backward and forward over the track ways in the path of the beveling element to present the card properly to the latter to effect the desired result.

` What is claimed is 1. In a device of the class described, a

supporting frame having spaced guide tracks,

a table movable-upon said tracks, an arm' carried by said frame, a head member swinging upon said arm and provided with a clam ing rib, means for adjusting said head mem er relative to said arm, a holding element having a longitudinal channel in -lone face and bearing with its channeled face against said rib, a tool adjustably disposed in said channel and bearing against said rib, means carried'by said table for supporting a card, means for adjustably clamping said tool in said holder, means for adjusting said holder in .engagement with said rib, and means for adjpsting said holder and the tool carried there y longitudinally of the rib to to the ysize of the latter.`
